After a dozen weeks, there’s still much doubt about the order of the dozen NFL teams that will make the playoffs in 2013. Start at the top in the AFC and NFC, where the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks have little breathing room in their quests for the No. 1 seeds and home-field advantage.

AFC

1. Denver Broncos (9-2). After falling in New England, they first need to take care of the AFC West in Kansas City this week and then focus on winning out through a weak slate to hold off the Patriots. What’s left: at KC, vs. TEN, vs. SD, at HOU, at OAK

2. New England Patriots (8-3). With the head-to-head tiebreaker over Denver and the AFC East in hand, they will just work to win out and hope the Broncos stumble. What’s left: at HOU, vs. CLE, at MIA, at BAL, vs. BUF

3. Indianapolis Colts (7-4). The Colts don’t need to worry much about the AFC South with a comfortable two-game lead over Tennessee, but their inconsistency has hampered any real shot at a bye and given the schedule, this seed isn’t that secure, either. What’s left: vs. TEN, at CIN, vs. HOU, at KC, vs. JAX

4. Cincinnati Bengals (7-4). The Bengals went into their bye undefeated at home (5-0) and now need to work on being better on the road (2-4). They also know Pittsburgh and Baltimore won’t just go away in the AFC North. As they’ve already beaten New England and have Indianapolis left, don’t count them out for No. 2, either. What’s left: at SD, vs. IND, at PIT, vs. MIN, vs. BAL

5. Kansas City Chiefs (9-2). Despite their two-game losing streak to AFC West foes, they still have a four-game lead over the rest of the wild-card hopefuls with five to play. Unless they upset Denver, they are just about locked in here. What’s left: vs. DEN, at WAS, at OAK, vs. IND, at SD

6. Tennessee Titans (5-6). Hard to believe they are here, but that shows how bad the AFC is after the top five. It won’t last long as their remaining schedule is pretty brutal. What’s left: at IND, at DEN, vs. ARI, at JAC, at TEN

NFC

1. Seattle Seahawks (11-1). The NFC West leaders got a bye right before they beat up on New Orleans Monday night. Seattle now has a stranglehold on this seed. What’s left: at SF, at NYG, vs. ARI, vs. STL

2. New Orleans Saints (9-3). They have the their work still cut out after losing to Seattle and now making sure they hold off surging Carolina in two games just to win the NFC South. What’s left: vs. CAR, at STL, at CAR, vs. TB

3. Detroit Lions (6-5).The Lions’ dwindling lead in the NFC North is based on sweeping Chicago. They’re now only up a half-game on Green Bay before hosting the Packers on Thursday. What’s left: vs. GB, at PHI, vs. BAL, vs. NYG, at MIN

6. San Francisco 49ers (7-4). They rebounded nicely in Washington from their two losses to NFC South powers Carolina and New Orleans to maintain their slight cushion over fellow NFC West foe Arizona, whom they beat earlier. What’s left: vs. STL, vs. SEA, at TB, vs. ATL, at ARI
